~ LOW-fat HIGH-flavour/flavor FRESH Peach Pie ! ~

Serves 8.

* pastry dough for double-crust 9-inch pie
2/3 cup firmly packed raw (light brown) sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 peaches, peeled, pitted, and quartered

PREHEAT oven to 400deg.F.
Roll out half of the pastry dough on a floured work surface into a 10-inch round. TRANSFER the round to a 9-inch pie plate.

IN a medium bowl, combine the light brown (raw) sugar, flour, and spices, mixing well. ADD the peaches to the sugar-flour mixture, tossing gently. POUR the peach mixture into the pie shell. ROLL out the remaining dough into a 10-inch round and drape over the peach filling. TRIM and flute the edges of the pastry. PRICK the top crust with a fork.

BAKE for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 375deg.F and continue to bake until the crust is golden brown. 50 to 55 minutes. COOL on a rack. SERVE warm or at room temperature.
